I’m pretty well liked and pretty popular online nowadays. That hasn’t always been the case. When I was in high school I wasn’t exactly disliked by anyone, but I wasn’t exactly everyone’s buddy either. I was always one of those likable kids that everyone knew and liked but was rarely really friends with. There’s always cliques in school and I was ( Read more... )

I know you've experienced more than me, but speaking as an optimist (sometimes blindly), I definitely agree with your stance of not letting things ultimately get to you.

There are moments for sorrow and grieving, and I usually spend a fairly large amount of time trying to process everything. In the end, it's therapeutic. I don't like the feeling of things eating me up inside; it's hard, but the healing process starts by moving forward. Forgive, but never forget.

Though I understand why a lot of people feel the need for retribution. I honestly would not be able to think clearly and feel at all if something were to happen to Chris, and I think it's natural for anyone to feel like that when something terrible happens to someone close.

I've never known anyone close to me who's been killed, so my perspective is limited. But like I said, I do understand both roads people take. In any event, I am glad to know you are able to cope and have a similar regard to life as I do. Thanks for this.

I want to congratulate you on having something that 99.9% of people in this world don't have.

Death is a horrible thing to go through. And it's even more hard when somebody dies from... well, non-natural causes. Especially being shot. The fact that his nice-ness was taken advantage off is fucking digusting. And just for the fact they felt like KILLING SOMEONE? What the fuck.

I can imagine how his mom must have felt. Senior year, she didn't get to see her son graduating or go to college or anything. There was a girl that got murdered at my school her Senior year and she was going to go to Gonzaga and stuff.

I'm here if you need me. <3

It's kind of sad that it takes something like death or cancer to remind most people about how short their lives are. I'd be lying if I said I always live life to the fullest, I do have to always remind myself that things could be worse when something not so good happens.

Yeah I would still say I compromise a lot overall, but I always make sure I'm doing something I want to do if that makes any sense.
